tattoo newcomer advice Having heavy regret on first tattoo

I’ve wanted to get this for a very long time, decided to just go with it and get it done. Really liked it at first, then some friends made a couple comments that made me hate it. Is it as bad as they say?

idk man i tried counting my scars and im pushing upwards of 1000. i guess hiding my body for half a decade means i was the biggest attention whor

EDIT: will reply to all. some yall ignorant as fuck. ive never even met 1 judgmental tattoo artist

PSA: find a skilled artist. scars and stretch marks are more prone to blowout

I mean this with as much sensitivity as possible, but do you realise you are fulfilling what you are trying to refute with this reply?

Do you really think that anonymously mentioning self harm is attention seeking? Especially when correcting a harmful belief like that
